The deployment collection defined by a tree is available if the assessment scope definition is set to "By Tree" For more details, see Specifying Assessment Template Scope.

• a query

• a macro

• a macro with parameter

If a query or macro is called with specific parameters, the mode of obtaining these parameters should be defined in the assessment template properties.

Creating Assessment Deployment Cllections

To create an assessment deployment collection:

1. In the properties of an assessment template, select Assessment Template Definition.

2. In the tree displayed, click New.

3. In the wizard that appears, select the check boxes corresponding to the type of information concerning the scope:

• Objects to Assess to specify the object collection to be assessed.

• Context objects to specify the object collection defining the assessment context.

It is not mandatory to define context objects.

• Respondents to specify the object collection identifying respondents.

• Filled by User

If you want the deployment collection to be filled at session creation only, select the Filled by User check box.

4. Select the Filling Mode of the assessed objects list.

For more details, see Deployment Collection Filling Mode.

5. Click OK.

Deployment Collection Filling Mode

Filling mode enables indication of the way in which the list of objects connected to the deployment collection is filled. This collection can be defined:

• implicitly (queries, macros)

• explicitly (object list)

• by the user (at session creation)

Proposed filling modes are as follows:

• Tree

This filling mode is not available if the scope of your assessment is defined by a tree. For more details, see Specifying Assessment Template Scope.

• Object list

• Macro

• Macro with parameters

• Query

Filled by user

Deployment by tree

Deployment by object list

Deployment by macro

The object list is the result of the execution of a macro.

This deployment concerns the collections of objects to be assessed and respondents.

This macro should define a method called ‘assessmentCollectionFill' and have the following signature:

Sub assessmentCollectionFill(mgobjAssessmentCollection As MegaObject,mgcolCollection As MegaCollection,)

End Sub

Arguments of the macro:

• mgobjAssessmentCollection: current collection

• mgcolCollection: the MegaCollection obtaining result of the collection

Deployment by macro with parameters

The object list is the result of execution of a macro with parameters.

This deployment concerns the collections of objects to be assessed and respondents.

You must create an assessment deployment query to specify these parameters.

For more details, see Defining Deployment Query Parameters.

Correspondence should be set between assessment deployment query parameters and parameters of Hopex queries.

This macro should define a method called ‘assessmentCollectionFill' and have the following signature:

Sub assessmentCollectionFill(mgobjAssessmentCollection As MegaObject,mgcolCollection As MegaCollection,strTreePath As String,strParameters As String)

End Sub

Deployment by query

The object list is the result of execution of a two types of query:

• Populating query

If the Hopex query includes parameters, you must create deployment query parameters and set their correspondence with Hopex query parameters.

For more details, see Defining Deployment Query Parameters.

• Filtering query

A filtering query enables reduction in the number of objects in a given collection by selecting certain criteria. It is based on ERQL queries. You can therefore choose to assess objects of a certain type in a session, and objects of a different type in another session.

To access population and filtering queries:

In the properties of a deployment collection, select the Advanced page.
